Business AreaReal Sector
Dataset NameBusiness Confidence Survey – Indices
Dataset DescriptionPolicy makers around the world use Business Confidence Surveys (BCS) as leading indicator for economic activity as these surveys are particularly suitable for monitoring and forecasting the short term changes in the economy. Especially, a forward looking monetary policy requires input on expectations of different agents. Conventional data is often available with long lags; business activity indicators, if timely available, provide comfort to the policy makers for analyzing the current situation and taking appropriate policy actions to avert financial and other economic crises. These surveys also supplement the available quantitative data by providing motives and expectations behind their actions. A reliable system of qualitative short-term indicators can therefore be seen as a valuable complement to the system of quantitative statistics.

SBP is conducting Business Confidence Survey in collaboration with Institute of Business Administration. It aims to be representative of Pakistan’s businesses operating in various economic and geographic domains. The survey data is used to construct a business sentiment index, which significantly extends the information base for SBP’s forward looking policy making.

This survey targets large firms in manufacturing, services, construction, wholesale and retail trade and financial services sector spread across the country to seek their opinions on production, employment, demand for credit and economic conditions etc.

The survey used to be conducted every two months until February 2023. The frequency of the survey has been increased to monthly since then.
